At least the home team won and the officials got out safely.

Actually, the first sign from a ref was touchback. That was the back judge. Next was the TD call from the side judge... Neither were within 10 seconds of the ball being caught.
I watched the play, there is no way anyone who actually saw it (ref's job, right?) would have called TD. What the side and back judges were doing is anyone's guess...
